Ning Fengzhi's only daughter, Ning Rongrong, was at Shrek Academy, and he had already met Tang San and learned that Tang San was quite formidable.
That was why he had concluded that Shrek Academy had a chance of claiming the final championship.
How could he have known that Feng Xiaotian would become their greatest obstacle to winning the title?
Next, the host introduced Salas, the Platinum Bishop of Spirit Hall, who would conduct the draw for the first round of the Preliminary Round.
There was only one match today.
Feng Xiaotian had learned in advance that the Royal Academy's second team would face Shrek Academy, and that Shrek would win.
The Royal Academy had powerful teachers and an excellent learning environment, but its students were all royal nobles. Not only were their talents mediocre, but they were unwilling to work hard. It was perfectly normal for them to lose.
Salas wore a proud expression and rarely smiled. He left the announcement of the draw results to the host.
"."
"First round of the Preliminary Round: Heaven Dou Royal Academy versus Shrek Academy."
"."
Godwind Academy's opponent in the first round was very weak, an unknown small academy. There was no need for Feng Xiaotian to take the field at all.
When everyone learned that Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team would be facing Shrek Academy, they all looked toward Tang San and the others.
Wearing the ugliest uniforms yet receiving the most attention, the Shrek Academy students were utterly embarrassed, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into.
Still, they were delighted to be able to face Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Because they had once suffered humiliation at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Today, they could take this opportunity to wipe away their shame.
But the spectators did not see it that way.
In their eyes, Shrek Academy looked weak and was no match for the Royal Academy.
After the draw ended, some time was left for preparation. They would soon take the field.
The other academies had no matches today, so after leaving, they went to the Soul Master spectators' stands.
Godwind Academy stood right next to Skywater Academy and Blazing Fire Academy.
Shui Bing'er, Huo Wushuang, and the others were all beside Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian said,
"Shrek Academy won't send out its strongest lineup, but even so, they'll still easily defeat Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team."
"Are they really that strong?"
"Being strong is one thing. The main reason is that their opponents are too weak, incapable of withstanding a single blow."
"Their opponent is Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team, after all. They shouldn't be that weak, should they?"
"Enough talk. The match is about to begin. Just watch carefully later, and you'll understand."
Meanwhile.
Tang San was arranging their tactics.
After being turned away at the gates back then, both Tang San and Dai Mubai had harbored deep resentment.
This time, they did not merely intend to defeat Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team. They also wanted to seriously injure them, ensuring they could not make it through this Preliminary Round.
The time for the match soon arrived.
Every Heaven Dou Royal Academy participant was loudly introduced as they entered, with dazzling lights shining down upon them.
The display was exceedingly grand, something only Heaven Dou Royal Academy was worthy of having.
In stark contrast, Shrek Academy's members slowly entered amid a chorus of boos from the spectators.
This only made Tang San and the others, already filled with rage, even angrier.
They secretly swore that they would crush Heaven Dou Royal Academy and make every spectator who looked down on them shut up.
Feng Xiaotian sat in the stands, observing everything in the arena.
They seemed to be "greeting" each other. Though he could not hear what they were saying, it was certainly nothing pleasant.
The Referee signaled for all non-participants to leave the arena.
The match between Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team and Shrek Academy was about to begin.
